Humble Freedom Bundle: $600 worth of games (and more) for $30, all proceeds go to charity

Humble Bundle has been offering opportunities to save money on games, eBooks, and other stuff for years through a series of “bundles” that let you purchase a bunch of items for one deeply discounted price. In fact, you can often set your own price.

Each organization is working to protect the rights and health of immigrants and refugees, and the Humble Freedom Bundle surpassed its goal of raising $300,000 for those charities pretty quickly. In fact, the total is more than twice that number as I write this, and the number is climbing quickly.

Don’t care about refugee rights? This is still a crazy good deal.

The bundle includes PC game The Witness, which normally sells for $40 on its own. So you can save $10 and get more than 4 dozen other games and books.

Having 90% of these in my library already I initially dismissed it, but seeing how the money goes for a good cause I think I’ll buy it and gift it away or something.

Only 1 of those charities is actually worthwhile. Maybe the junkiest bundle I’ve ever seen, especially for $30.

It wasn’t obvious which ones you’re talking about. What’s wrong with these charities that I’m not aware of?

They’re all worthwhile, though I can understand why Trump supporters might disagree, given the reason for the existence of the Freedom Bundle.

It’s a great idea, and it’s raised almost $4 million in the first 24 hours. I’ve added my 2c (well, a little more than that), though I haven’t a clue how many of the games I’ll eventually play!

It isn’t obvious that cobri is a Trump supporter either. Maybe cobri is an effective altruist and believes some of these charities are less efficient than others. Assuming isn’t helpful, though you very well may be right. Still, I would like to know the answer to my question.

I agree, it’s possible it isn’t but believe me, most of the time it is. 🙂 — especially when one of the charities is the ACLU. I would be happy to be wrong.

Humble Bundle actually lets you choose how to allocate the money you spend, so if you only want to support one or two of the three charities, you can do that.

The Witness alone costs $39.99 on Steam, so the whole package worths at least $100 for everybody. Day of the Tentacle was one of my favorites in the good ol’ DOS days, and this way I can have the remastered version, which I already wanted to buy, and it costs $14.99 alone.

Hands down, this package is one of my best spent $30s. :))(Sorry, I don’t live in the USA, so I supported the other 2 charities with $15 each.)

The Witness is indeed good game, but the game’s genre (puzzle) is not for all. Almost all games are indie, I have about half of them nowadays. They regularly going to bundles or discounts on Steam.

Pretty much all the games I’m interested in are sold out or I already got through Humble Monthly.

Liliputing’s primary sources of revenue are advertising and affiliate links (if you click the “Shop” button at the top of the page and buy something on Amazon, for example, we’ll get a small commission).

But there are several ways you can support the site directly even if you’re using an ad blocker and hate online shopping.
